Calabasas Elementary

Calabasas Elementary sits in Watsonville, a working agricultural city in the Pajaro Valley where the community ties run deep and the landscape is defined by strawberry fields and coastal foothills. The school serves a largely Spanish-speaking community, and families looking for a school that reflects Watsonville's culture and demographic identity will feel at home here. Academic scores currently sit below state averages, so families who prioritize enrichment may want to stay closely involved in their child's learning journey — though the tight-knit feel of the Pajaro Valley Unified community is something many local parents genuinely value.
